What Happened
The clutch in your 2016-2018 Ford Focus with a 1.0L engine and 6-speed manual transmission is a critical part that connects and disconnects the engine from the transmission. If it fails, it can damage the transmission and cause a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the clutch fails and you have a transmission fluid leak, there's a risk of a fire breaking out near the engine or exhaust components. This could happen if something nearby gets too hot.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will install software that helps prevent clutch damage and may replace the clutch itself, all at no cost to you. They'll take care of this issue as soon as you schedule the repair after receiving the recall notice.
